Address Inner Frame input element

[asibin2000]

I've been working on a single sign on type VB.NET winform that uses the regular com web browser control.

Dim HTMLDoc As mshtml.HTMLDocument

        HTMLDoc = WebBrowser1.Document
        'select the inner frame
        Dim f1 As mshtml.IHTMLWindow2 = CType(HTMLDoc.frames.item(0), mshtml.IHTMLWindow2)
        'verify with msgbox display inner frame only
        MessageBox.Show(f1.document.body.innerHTML)
        'convert inner frame HTML to HTMLdocument (error here)
        Dim obj2 As mshtml.HTMLDocument = CType(f1.document.body.innerHTML, mshtml.HTMLDocument)
        'scan through inner frame elements search for input elements
        Dim wbrAll As mshtml.IHTMLElementCollection = obj2.getElementsByTagName("input")
        ' Create an object that will be a single instance of an input element
        Dim wbrElm As mshtml.IHTMLElement

        ' Create a few variable to hold values from the input element
        Dim strName As String
        Dim strId As String
        Dim strvalue As String
        Dim strType As String

        For Each wbrElm In wbrAll

            ' Assign the inner html values of the input to our variables
            strName = wbrElm.getAttribute("name")
            strId = wbrElm.id
            strvalue = wbrElm.innerText
            strType = wbrElm.getAttribute("type")
            
            MsgBox("name: " & strName & " Id: " & strId & " Value: " & strvalue & " Type: " & strType)
        Next

Pages that do not have frames are very easy to find input elements and send information.

Pages with a frame like this one is a problem getting to the input elements within a frame.

I was using the mshtml.HTMLwindows2 so I can focus in on just the inner frame that I wanted to see - this works fine and I can show the innerHTML of just that specific frame.

The problem is then converting that so I can then address the inner frame's input elements.

I can not post the client's web application but here is a public website that someone else linked to that has the username input element within a frame (0).

(this is just a sample)

any advice would be great,
